UK aid transparency is improving, with one exception.
Our new report finds most UK gov departments now publish more data on their aid spending, but transparency dipped sharply between 2020-25. The Home Office, despite £2.3bn in ODA, is opaque about its aid.

These are Department for Education, Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Department for Work and Pensions, Department of Health and Social Care, Integrated security fund, and Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government. One department - Department for Science, Innovation and Technology - has maintained their transparency. One department – Home Office – has decreased.
